Frank Vogel fired, Brunson plays through injury, Should LeBron coach the Lakers? | NBA | THE HERD

The Phoenix Suns fired head coach Frank Vogel after one season and a 1st round sweep by the Minnesota Timberwolves. Colin Cowherd and Rachel Nichols discuss the move and who might be up next for the Suns, and Jalen Brunson’s 2nd half heroics that led the New York Knicks over the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semi-finals. Plus, they discuss if LeBron James is the best candidate to coach the Los Angeles Lakers.

Check out the What’s Wright? with Nick Wright podcast: sprtspod.fox/WhatsWright_YT

[@willkluver]

I’ll even say this again here DUMB to not admit Darvin Hams downfalls with playing T prince more minutes than DLo, AR, and Rui early season. It took him all freaking year to go back the lineup that got them to the conference finals last year. Darvin Ham fumbling lineups until late season cost them a good seed in the playoffs which in turn cost him the locker room and his job. To say it’s not his fault is TERRIBLE misinformation

[@willkluver]

Look it up when Tprince played over 25 minutes they were absolutely terrible, when he played 25 min or less they started winning

How good at this job is Rachel Nichols!

[@facilitatinghappiness]

This Vogel firing is only the tip of the iceberg... Beal needs to go but who wants him (no trade clause)? Three huge contracts and no role players. These salaries on their roster are ridiculous.

[@luislaureano228]

That Suns owner came in thinking this is NBA2K. I don't think you'll ever see a more REDUNDANT 3-some of star players than what the suns have. Then the rest of roster is more redundant, 1-way offense only players.

[@starashen]

Boston is missing KP and Mobley is taking advantage which made the mismatch and cracked the Celtics armor. But regardless Boston should have enough talent and experience on the roster to offset it. Very surprised they didn't show the fight, which was what we saw in the past.

Why Is The Audio So Poor On The Herd Replay For KZbin?!

[@ethanr4708]

Anyone else notice the high pitch ringing or is it just me? I feel like it’s been there in a few of the clips from The Herd.

[@InvestBetter.]

The Knicks need a 25 PPG score. Someone who can play off of Brunson, and score. That's it. Doesn't have to be Durant, but Demar DeRozan would be great. Someone better than Julius Randle

[@thomaskell1920]

Michael Jordan averaged 37.1 points per game in his 3rd year. Ant averaged 25 this year in a higher scoring NBA. It’s a bit of a stretch to ACTUALLY compare early Ant to early Jordan.

[@xavierb9061]

Ant is ahead of jordan. How many years jordan avg 37 and win title. No sense argument u making

[@NK-mr3rh]

Teams were shooting same amount of shots both years in NBA. Scoring is higher cuz guys can actually shoot the 3

[@hector4470]

Jordan literally was the only option on a young 80s Bulls team compared to Anthony Edwards who has multiple options on his team to score.

[@NK-mr3rh]

@@hector4470 Jordan fans have never gave that “excuse” or “explanation” in other arguments much credence when it works in their favor

[@adaqable]

New salary cap rules also make it difficult to maintain a great roster, Ant and Mcdaniels contracts kick in next season thats when the strain starts. OKC has a good 3 seasons before they need to pay everyone

[@hector4470]

That’s why drafting is going to be critical now towards a team success in the league.

"DeMar DeRozan doesn't need the ball" - said no Bulls fan ever lolol

[@LeoDunsonMinistries]

Moving Booker is crazy, he’s there youngest star. You’d have to move KD or Beal

Not sure if Randall fits Knicks now, they need a sparkplug type, a guy that's gonna move the ball and play d, nit necessarily a star but someone like Michael porter Jr

[@sstier48]

They could have done something with a big and maybe a pg.. they got the exact opposite of what they needed with beal

[@chetlyp]

Like to see Rachel Nichols doing her thing again. On a much better network.

[@Urbohat]

There’s a dumb analogy with the New York Giants. They did not fire the coach in New York. All they had to do was fix the offensive line and they have not been able to do that for the last five years. So plug-in play another quarterback to replace Daniel Jones, and they will also fail unless that quarterback is Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes. Another bad analogy.
